German doctor Martin Winter and his daughters Elisabeth and Paula have decided to stay in Ireland. They feel very much at home on the lovely and romantically situated farm of the girls' grandparents Anne and Peter O'Mally. And in the little town of Ballymara, located on the southern coast of Ireland, where Dr. Winter has taken over the practice of the local country doctor. The town also has a very special attraction for Martin: the young sheep farmer Erin O'Toole, with whom Martin, after grieving over the loss of his wife for several years, has fallen in love. Martin is also the love of Erin's life, and when he proposes to the warm-hearted and engaging young woman after several months of happiness, she spontaneously accepts.
